Botox, a skin aging treatment based on botulinum toxin

The action of Botox^TM consists of reducing the contraction of facial muscles responsible for facial expressions. In fact, although necessary, these contractions can form wrinkles and fine lines over the years, as well as furrows. Forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and wrinkles around the mouth are all expression lines that, when they become deep, can alter appearance and affect self-esteem. This is why the localized injection of Botox^TM offered at Victoria Park Medispa can be an interesting solution, as it helps to reduce, or even erase these wrinkles, to restore a youthful appearance to the face. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin, for a period ranging from three to six months. Botox^TM can also be used alone, or in combination with a filler (such as Juvederm, Belotero, or Restylane, based on hyaluronic acid). By correcting the signs of skin aging with these methods, the hydration, elasticity, and suppleness of the skin are preserved. Additionally, repeated injections help prevent the depth of wrinkles, even when the effects of the product fade.

Regarding scalp Botox^TM and eyebrow Botox^TM, these terms sometimes appear in the field of aesthetic care. These are actually misnomers. Due to the spectacular effects of Botox^TM, its name has been extended to describe a treatment that significantly improves the appearance of hair or eyebrows. But these treatments do not contain the slightest trace of Botox^TM. They are treatments that repair and rehydrate hair or eyebrows, notably using keratin. This protein, which is naturally found in hair, fur, and nails, is indeed experiencing renewed interest for its regenerative properties.

The medical-aesthetic health professionals at Victoria Park Medispa can offer Botox^TM injections to any patient over the age of eighteen who wishes to regain smooth skin and a fresh, rested appearance. Sometimes, under-eye bags and dark circles, or wrinkles can make a person appear older or more anxious than they really are.

The most sought-after feature of Botox^TM is its quickly visible effect on a face marked by time and fatigue. The substance blends into the tissues and creates a tension that, on the surface, results in smoother and more even skin. In some cases, it can even be used preventively. By injecting Botox^TM into the mobile areas of the face where the most visible wrinkles form quickly, it is indeed possible to support the skin’s elasticity and delay their appearance. As for Botox^TM injection in the lips, it not only smooths the tissues around the mouth but also enhances the lip contour, making the mouth appear more pronounced with a very natural effect.

Botox^TM is a product whose use goes beyond the simple aesthetic framework. Its initial use was therapeutic, and it remains so today. As such, the medical-aesthetic health professionals at Victoria Park Medispa can recommend it to patients suffering from excessive sweating, hyperhidrosis. This condition, which leads to excessive sweating, abnormally, can significantly reduce self-confidence, especially during sports events, anxiety-provoking situations, or on hot summer days. Botox^TM can be a solution to treat this sweating. By injecting it into the sites of sweating, such as the feet, hands, or armpits, the substance blocks the glands responsible for sweating. In this context, its effects can last up to seven months, which can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life.

Victoria Park Medispa offers its clients a wide range of products dedicated to skin rejuvenation, including fillers and injectable hyaluronic acid solutions. Some products, such as the Sculptra filler, can be combined with muscle relaxants like Botox^TM, to deeply stimulate the skin’s collagen production.

This protein is an essential component of skin elasticity, but its action and production decrease with age. Sculptra has the particularity of increasing the skin’s collagen production, and this, in the deepest layers of the epidermis. Once injected, this product restores volume and elasticity to the facial skin, improving the definition of its contours, thus preventing its aging.
